We'll be heading on a grand adventure Sunday to hike a few peaks in the Whites!
We'll begin our trek at the AMC Highland Center, traveling up the Avalon Trail until it encounters the A-Z Trail. From there, we'll take a quick jaunt up the Mount Tom Spur to tag our first peak of the day. Back down we'll go, and we will briefly revisit the A-Z trail before turning onto the Wiley Range Trail. This trail will take us to our next peak, Mount Field. Finally, we'll head down the Avalon Trail, where we'll traverse, appropriately, Mount Avalon. Like most things in life, we will come full circle and finish where we started.
If time and conditions allow, we'll attempt to make s'mores using the alpine stove.
Route is here.
The hike is right around 6.4 miles and ~3,000 feet of elevation gain. There will be a required pre-trip meeting this Thursday after the lecture.
